Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports both the All-Pro right tackle and the defensive tackle are expected to be available against Buffalo next week, though the team has not announced activations.
- Johnson has been out since a Week 11 Lisfranc injury, missed five games without going on injured reserve, and warmed up pregame against Washington despite being ruled out.
- Carter underwent procedures on both shoulders after Week 13 and missed three games versus the Chargers, Raiders and Commanders.
- Depth has held up, with Fred Johnson steady at right tackle and interior linemen combining for 39 tackles and 8 sacks during Carter’s absence, including Brandon Graham’s productive snaps inside.
- Philadelphia has clinched the NFC East, and with Inpredictable putting a 2-seed chance at 18 percent the staff will weigh snaps for returning starters against postseason health.
